Cassandra and her team are consummate professionals. I have referred many clients to them over the years and will continue to do so
Alice Carter is an exceptional family lawyer. She helped me navigate a difficult and acrimonious separation with integrity, fortitude, elegance and warmth. She carried me through great uncertainty like a superhero and helped me make good, strategic decisions for the best and fairest result possible. Her knowledge of family law was astute and her voice of reason calming through rocky and distressing times. Her links with other professionals made the whole process as seamless as possible, as a 55-year-old professional woman who had a lot to lose and at times wanted to simply surrender, I will be forever grateful - Thank you, Alice and Pullos Lawyers
What a relief to have had Pullos Lawyers reccommended to me for my Property Settlement matter. Right from the start I felt listened to, and valued - from how clearly the process was explained to me, to how my matter was dealt with in a professional, knowledgeable and timely manner.
Alice Carter was invaluable as my Family Lawyer and at all times I felt confident with how she worked through the many issues that arose. Her experience and knowledge in this undertaking was of great comfort and assuarance to me - as was her manner towards me - calm, clear and caring, while always maintaining the utmost integrity for the legal process and in all communications and correspondence.
I am so grateful to Ms Carter & the Pullos team and would not hesitate to reccommend them for any Family Law matters.
The Pullos team acted for my former wife...They were horrible...next time I get divorced I'm engaging them...
Cassandra and the team at Pullos lawyers were an incredible source of support and encouragement throughout my parenting matter. Cassandra's expertise and professionalism helped me navigate the complex family law process with confidence and clarity. Pullos Lawyers handled every part of my case with great attention and care, and I am very grateful for their service.
I would totally recommend Pullos Lawyers. Thank you for the caring support and great advice from Sabrina, Alice and Cassandra. A great team. Warm regards Janelle

After a long hard slog my financial settlement was finalised a few days ago. The outcome was in line with our initial goal and it was a great relief not to have to battle out in court. Kristy always had my best interests in mind in her negotiations in an extremely complex case. She provided clear concise direction throughout the litigation process. I would highly recommend the expertise and skills of the Pullos team.
Words cannot explain how grateful I am for the kindness, support and professionalism provided by Katherine from Pullos Lawyers during what was the most difficult time in my life. Katherine is an incredible lawyer and I highly recommend her for any family matter. From my first contact with the firm many years ago with advice from Cassandra through to our more recent representation by Katherine during the court process, we have had nothing but exceptional guidance and advice. Thank you so much to the Pullos team for all that you have done for our family.
Highly recommend the Pullos team, on first chat with Cassandra and subsequent dealings with Kristy and her team I was impressed by their professional yet human approach to my legal requirements. My main concern when faced with a legal proceeding was acquiring the support of a trustworthy and competent team that I could rely on to deliver sound advice with balanced expectations of what a realistic outcome based on my circumstances looked like and how to achieve that outcome. My interactions with the Pullos team delivered theses qualities/requirements effortlessly. Thank you for the return of my life and sanity!
I dealt with Katherine through a tough separation and was made felt at ease while they looked after my matter, very professional and don’t waste time building unnecessary costs. Would highly recommend Pullos services.
I found the team to be extremely compassionate, with an honest and forward thinking approach. They gave me peace of mind throughout a daunting process. I would not hesitate to recommend Pullos Lawyers for your family law matters.

Cassandra and her team have been incredibly professional in all of our conversations. Quite simply, I trust her.
Pullos Lawyers were extremely helpful with my situation. They were swift and efficient, while providing the best advice for my case. If you want a professional team that will provide you peace of mind then I would recommend getting in touch with them.
Pullos Lawyers are undoubtedly the best Family Law firm on the Gold Coast. I was pleasantly surprised with how reasonable they were and that they went above and beyond to assist me through a difficult time.
Beware! Get legal advice before signing any agreement with this firm, they will drain your bank account with little result.
